Can't really complain about SilverStar. I used to live near here and had a season's pass. The runs were always well groomed and when I broke my clavicle they took good care of me until I got a ride down the hill. Seemed to be a rather well-run operation.
Since moving away I've been back one or twice just to enjoy the village rather than snowboarding. They have a pretty decent range of food options and the staff is very helpful. When asked about where to get coffee the person I spoke with took the time to provide me with a few options and made a recommendation based on what I was looking for.
It's a beautiful and very accessible mountain. No complaints at all.

We have been coming to Silver Star for some 20 years. It's a wonderful mountain for skiing, and even more, for building memories with your family and friends.
There are wonderful big houses for rent that will accommodate multiple families and condos and apartments for smaller groups. The village is well serviced with select shops, restaurants and a small grocery.
We love cooking our own meals at the end of the day, after a glass of wine and hot tub. Butcher Boy from Vernon delivers groceries and we've done this several times. Their produce, meats and bacon are amazing. Definitely worth it.

Best ski experience in Canada so far.
Really good staff all over the resort from the bars, restaurants, cafes and rental shops.
Snow is fantastic here in the interior much better than whistler.
Medium sized resort, good value and loads of different terrain.
Can't wait to return next year for longer.

Had an amazing experience. I have been coming here annually for many years now and I can say this is by far my favourite place to stay and ski. There are so many fun activities such as tubing and skiing and it's great to walk around the cozy village. Best of all is the skiing hill, the snow is great and they have runs of all sorts.

I learned to ski on this mountain and it's still my favourite.
The village is easily accessible by ski - you can take a break and grab food without wasting time. The mountain is small enough to feel comfortable but big enough that you could spend a week here. You can always switch between the front and back sides of the mountain if the weather isn't ideal.
With all interior mountains, the snow is dry and won't clog up your bindings like the coastal Vancouver snow. It's dry and fluffy and awesome here.
